Upside Down Smilie Show

This episode of the Upside Down Smilie Show is with Evan who is a music business mentor and manager. He is the founder of Artist Collect which an educational and support community for artists. We talked about different tips with managing yourself as an artist but just in general how you can manage your mind and daily life. Evan and I have a lot in common with seeing potential with the people we interact with and how it's our purpose to use our gifts to help others. Anyone can get a lot out of this conversation if you're an artist really challenged during this time of uncertainty or an everyday person with a 9-5 job trying to make sense of the confusion happening around the world right now.

This episode of the Upside Down Smilie Show is with Jae and we are talking about the idea of space. Space can be defined in so many ways, physical space, creating space with time, space in relation to identity. We talked about making space, taking up too much space and other ideas in connection to unique experiences like the Black Lives Matter Movement. This idea of space can feel abstract and a bit hard to grasp and those are the conversations I want to continue to have. Share your thoughts on space!
